Here I go: Bungee jumper Warrick Chambers heads back to earth.
REGULARS at a Good-worth Clatford pub were given bounce with their beer when its new landlords hosted a charity bungee-jump.
A total of 15 brave locals, including landlord Tim Battey, braved the 200ft dive from a crane at the Clatford Arms to raise money for the children's hospice Naomi House, Sutton Scotney.
Landlady Jane Battey, who started running the pub with her husband in April, explained she was looking to host an out-of-the-ordinary event when bungee-jumping sprang to mind.
"We were looking for something different to introduce ourselves and raise some money for charity when we saw an advert in a publican's magazine.
"Straight away we knew we had to do it," she said.
"Everyone thought it was a good idea and great fun.

"I didn't jump myself - it was a bit too high and you had to crane your neck just to see the where they were jumping from, so everyone who did jump was very brave."
Over 200 people watched.
Mrs Battey said the event may be repeated next year - after raising over £1,000.
